A Demon's Journey

Tiana's turn soon arrived. Her battle was against a guy with the 41 number.

In contrast to Tiana's physique, this man's physique was quite large. He was extremely buffed up and looked very intimidating to the general audience.

When the audience glanced at this man and then gazed at Tiana, they couldn't help but feel some pity for Tiana.

'What bad luck this young lady has.'

Tiana remained calm as she was more focused on the aura released by the warrior ahead of her.

'He seems to have focused a lot on his physique rather than his spiritual energy,' She calmly analyzed while stepping on the stage.

Her movements were graceful, and there was a sense of transcendence in them.

Tiana and her opponent soon stood on the stage and faced each other. The judge near them came forward and spoke, "On the count of 3."

"One." There was a massive grin on the man's face as he stared at Tiana.

Now that he had a closer look, he could faintly see through that veil worn by Tiana. He knew this was a very beautiful woman.

"Two," The referee's voice was slightly domineering as he spoke this word.

Tiana raised her arms and had taken a very strange stance. A strange stance to most of the general populace.

"Three!"

Once this word was spoken, the man rushed towards Tiana with a shocking speed. He wasted absolutely no moment and had rushed towards Tiana at his quickest speed.

Tiana released a misty air around her body. The man ignored that mist air and easily passed it.

The man wasn't actually throwing a punch at Tiana. Instead, his hand was moving towards Tiana in the form of a claw.

There was a wicked grin on his face as his arm touched Tiana's body.

His fingertips were strengthened with Earth Chakra, so he wasn't worried about any barrier around Tiana's body.

He tried to pull Tiana's garments and strip her in public. Internally, he was salivating at the thought of how this beautiful woman looked underneath those clothes.

However, he soon realized that Tiana's clothes wouldn't budge no matter how strongly he pulled. And the one he was pulling wasn't Tiana but her Ice Sculpture.

He realized that he had been fooled. But it was too large as Tiana suddenly arrived and threw out a double palm attack on his chest.

"Double Frost Cloud Palm!"

Tiana's opponent might have endured it and launched a counterattack if it was a pure power attack. However, this attack contained a dense amount of Ice Energy, and his muscles, along with his bones, became brittle upon being struck by that attack.

As those bones were brittle, Tiana struck his chest once again.

Once that hit connected, the fight was over.

Her opponent's bones were crushed to pieces, and he experienced excruciating pain. The audience heard the loud cry that forced them to cover their ears.

The mist soon dispersed, and the crowd noticed that Tiana was still standing while her opponent laid on the ground with a pitiful look on his face.

He appeared to be breathing, but his injuries were so severe that he would soon die if he didn't receive medical attention.

Immediately, the judge declared Tiana as the winner and ordered a few medical officers to take this man away for treatment.

Tiana walked away from the stage and sat on her seat.

The audience and the other warriors stared at her with solemn expressions. She had won effortlessly.

Her opponent was also a 4 Star Warrior, yet this wasn't even a battle.

They made a mental note to be extremely careful when fighting against her. If they were rash, their condition wouldn't be all that different from that man who was placed on the stretcher.

There were a few warriors who weren't intimidated by this scene, though. They possessed special eyes or great senses through which they guessed what Tiana did.

In this fight, Tiana didn't use a lot of power. But her technique was quite special.

Christina wasn't surprised to see Tiana winning so effortlessly. She would have taken the same amount of time to deal with a warrior of that level.

A few more numbers passed, and it was Christina's turn.

Unlike the time with Tiana when her opponent was looking down on her and had some wicked plans in his mind, Christina's opponent was completely serious.

He was from a low-ranked sect, while his opponent was the young mistress of the Black Lake Sect.

He could not look down on her. He possessed no qualifications.

Currently, the betting rate was entirely in Christina's favor. Not a single soul in this stadium believed that he could defeat Christina.

'One opportunity. I will have just a single opportunity.'

This was the thought in the warrior's mind as he faced Christina with a resolute look in his eyes.

Christina noticed that determined look and internally approved it. She liked fighting against such people.

They would always give her a surprise and make her heart beat wildly. There was also some chance that she might die. That feeling was absolutely addicting.

The warrior possessed Wind Element while Christina possessed the Flame Element.

The referee soon spoke out 3 and asked them to start fighting.

The two warriors remained at their positions. There was a cautious look in the warrior's eye while Christina had a curious expression.

Many warriors would try to grab the initiative when they tried to fight against her. This was one of the rare warriors who was actually waiting for Christina to attack first.

'He is very confident of his skills. He believes that he can react to my techniques in time.'

Christina's fist was covered with flames as she punched in that man's direction.

A large Fire Fist was thrown at that man, and it completely covered his body. The speed of this large Flame Fist was so quick that it reached him within 2 seconds.

Within these two seconds, he changed his stance, and the wind began to gather around him.

When the Flame Fist was about to strike him, it was guided away from him. For the audience, it felt as though something had cut apart the Flame Fist from between.

Not just the audience, even Christina was startled. She didn't expect him to cut apart her Flame Fist like this.

The strange thing was that she didn't understand his technique. He didn't have his wind clash against her fire and cut open a path.

If that occurred, Christina was confident that her flames would win easily. In fact, something else had happened.

"Can you do that in Close Combat as well?" She asked while rushing towards her opponent at top speed.

That man's face was somber as he gazed at Christina. He shifted his body and assumed a different stance.

The wind around him revolved in a counter-clockwise direction.

Christina threw a punch at him with her arm covered in dense flames, but he surprisingly dodged that punch and held her arm covered in flames.

Christina's eyes widened as she realized her flames were being directed away from the area of her arm that he had grasped.

She vaguely understood his technique. However, her opponent used this opportunity to launch his combo attack.
